                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     It seems unreasonable to me that I should fight M. Chardinee for the title, but
I suppose that's better than letting Skittles or Steve take it.  Of course, they're
quite likely to take it NEXT time, but one turn at a time will do.

                                     Sourwood

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, MALCORN?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see CRYSTAL RAIN win a fight and gain 11 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, DANGEROUS 
CRIMINAL beat GOLDEN STAIRS and GOLDEN STAIRS lost 3 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as STEVE takes the Title and last 
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks 
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the MALCORN arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of MALCORN.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds 
are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Steve -- Well, once more for the road, eh?  It's always been a pleasure to deal with
you. -- Bobcat, not really a cat (I'm almost sure of that)

Somehow, Kung-Fu just seems... unfair.  I put in months learning to handle a sword
creditably, and then along comes this Convincian goofball and defeats me with NO
sword. -- Honeysuckle
P.S.  And he didn't even TEACH me anything!

Shank -- I tried to grip you by the shank, but you did a weird loopy think and
slithered loose.  Drat. -- Sundog

The Mordant Deserter.  Well, I feel for him, I truly do, but that doesn't mean I'm
going to LOSE for him.  No way. -- Golden Stairs, not such a ninny as her teammates
think
